Crossing the Cultivation Realm: Two Souls Coexist

Gu Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and his consciousness slowly condensed from the chaos.

He found himself collapsed on the ground, and the futon next to him had been kicked several miles away.

His limbs felt weak, as if he had just experienced a series of battles.

He lay on the ground, quietly waiting for his soul to completely return to his body.

When the soul and body were fully connected, it brought waves of pain, but even more intense was the feeling of hunger from the stomach.

It was like a restless little animal, making gurgling sounds, reminding him of his body's urgent needs.

Gu Yang struggled to sit up and looked around. Everything in the training room seemed so familiar yet strange.

Every time I come back from my inner demons, I feel a sense of disconnection and a sense of unreality.

There were still faint fluctuations of spiritual energy in the air. It seemed that their bodies had been unconsciously absorbing and exhaling the remaining spiritual energy around them over the past few days.

Gu Yang took a deep breath, trying to calm the feeling of emptiness in his body, but hunger was like an invisible hand, tightly gripping his stomach, making it difficult for him to concentrate.

"Hu Qing, how are you?" Gu Yang's voice was hoarse, as if it had been worn down by wind and sand.

Hu Qing was lying not far away. His body was equally weak, as if all his energy had been drained from him.

Hearing Gu Yang's voice, he forced himself to open his eyes and smiled weakly: "I'm still alive, but I'm hungry."

The two smiled at each other. Although they were physically weak, their friendship of sharing life and death became even deeper at this moment.

They crawled out of the training room, like two travelers who had just experienced a long journey, and every step seemed extremely difficult.

The house was silent, with only their footsteps echoing in the empty room.

Fortunately, there was a formation inside the villa and there was no dust on the ground, otherwise the two of them would have been covered in dust.

They searched through boxes and drawers hoping to find some food, but to no avail. There was no food stored at home.

Gu Yang searched for a while, patted his confused head with his hand, and called out to Hu Qing loudly:

"We're both starving. We didn't store any of this stuff at home. It's all in my storage ring!"

Hu Qing came back to his senses. Yes, all the food he bought was placed in Guyang's storage ring, never outside.

Finally, some dry food was found in Guyang's storage ring.

It looks like it hasn’t gone bad yet, so it’s edible!

These dry food were originally prepared for emergencies, but unexpectedly they have become their life-saving straw.

The two of them did not hesitate and drank the tea and dry biscuits directly.

Although these dry foods are rough and difficult to swallow, in the face of hunger, they become the most delicious food in the world.

After eating all the dry food, the two still felt hungry and urgently needed more energy, preferably high-quality fat.

It was as if they had stayed in the inner demon for four or five days, and their outer bodies had also been hungry for four or five days.

"It seems we need more food." Gu Yang said, taking out a token from his arms, hoping that there would still be birds delivering food at this time.

He entered monster meat into the mall, and unexpectedly there were nearly a thousand kinds, ranging from three contribution points to thousands of contribution points.

Hu Qing was dazzled by the sight. The meat on the screen made both of them salivate.

Gu Yang gritted his teeth and bought four portions of spirit wolf meat, spending a total of forty-two contribution points.

The two checked the shipping time and it said it would arrive in half an hour.

It would take a long time, and the two of them groaned with hunger and drank a large pot of tea.

Hu Qing walked into the yard and found that the sky was a little pale, which seemed to indicate that it was early morning.

The time of the inner demon is quite hard to figure out. It should have been late at night when I left, but it was already early morning in the blink of an eye.

Could it be that it takes a certain amount of time for their souls to reach the place where their inner demons reside?

So does this place of inner demons really exist?

Is it a space, or is it fictional?

His body was already hungry, and thinking about so many things at once made him feel dizzy with hunger.

Gu Yang also came to the yard. The two looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Gu Yang has now reached the initial stage of foundation building, and is one step closer to their goal.

During this journey to the inner demon, he can digest all the understanding contained therein, and his strength will be even greater.

Hu Qing looked at the golden elixir in his dantian, and unknowingly, a small piece of pattern had appeared on it.

But it will take a long time to fully light up.

What the two lack most now is time, as there is only one month left before the freshman competition.

The two had also promised Elder Han that they would get first place. If they failed to beat others by then, it would really become a joke.

The two looked at the sky, then found a lawn in the yard to sit down, and sat cross-legged to practice "The Great Dream Technique".

I used to practice in the practice room, and it has been a long time since I felt the experience of using the natural spiritual power around me to practice.

They were also waiting for the meat to be delivered and for the new day to begin.

The eastern sky gradually turned pale, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and sprinkled on the earth.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing were also covered with a layer of golden light.

Their movements became more powerful, and with every breath they absorbed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, circulating it within their bodies before eventually transforming into their own spiritual power.

The dawn on the horizon is like a gentle painter, painting warm colors on the night sky with soft brushstrokes.

As the last star faded away, the whole world was shrouded in a faint golden color.

Gu Yang and Hu Qing stopped practicing and sat up from the lawn, their eyes simultaneously looking towards the horizon.

The sound of birdsong broke the tranquility of the early morning. The sound was not pleasant, but rather hoarse and hurried.

Gu Yang frowned. He didn't like this sound. It reminded him of some unpleasant memories.

Hu Qing smiled slightly. To him, these sounds were part of nature and a symbol of the beginning of a new day.

Besides, if he guessed correctly, the meat was delivered and he could not wait any longer. He was so hungry that he could not even practice.

After a while, a fat vulture appeared in their sight. It was circling in the air, flapping its wings vigorously.

This is really the case of "hearing the voice before hearing the person"!

But this fat vulture is really ugly, like a big black coal ball.

It was holding a tightly packed package under its feet. As it flew, the package swayed in the air, as if it would fall at any moment.

Gu Yang couldn't help but worry that the vulture might fall down due to its excessive weight.

Hu Qing looked at the vulture, a smile on his face: "This guy flies quite steadily."

The vulture flew and stopped in the air, as if looking for a suitable place to land.

Finally, it chose an open space in the middle of the yard and landed smoothly. It gently placed the package on the ground, then stepped aside and waited quietly.

The vulture's attitude made Hu Qing want to give it a thumbs up. It was much better than the pelican that transported the ancient feather knife before.

I get angry whenever I think of that arrogant pelican. Next time I see one, I will kill it and roast it.

Gu Yang walked forward and opened the package, revealing dozens of pounds of steaming spirit wolf meat.

These pieces of meat still had fresh blood on them, obviously they had just been slaughtered.

The two looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

They were about to discuss how to eat the meat, but in the blink of an eye they saw the fat vulture staring at the wolf meat and refusing to leave the yard.

Gu Yang smiled helplessly. He took out a palm-sized piece of wolf meat from the package and threw it to the vulture.

The vulture immediately grabbed the piece of meat with its sharp beak. Instead of swallowing it immediately, it spread its black wings and flew away.

Hu Qing and Gu Yang couldn't help laughing as they watched the vulture flying away.

"This guy is quite polite." Hu Qing said with a smile.

Gu Yang shook his head: "Maybe it wants to keep it and eat it slowly."

The two men turned their attention back to the wolf meat and decided to roast it.

They brought a grill and wood from home and started a fire in the yard.

The firelight shone on their faces, dispelling the chill of the winter breakfast and bringing a touch of warmth.

They put the wolf meat on skewers and roasted it over a fire.

Under the roasting flames, the meat pieces gradually turned golden and emitted an enticing aroma.

Hu Qing picked up a bottle of seasoning and sprinkled it evenly on the meat, adding a bit of flavor.

Gu Yang picked up a brush and evenly spread oil on the pieces of meat, letting them sizzle in the flames.

The two of them grilled meat and chatted, enjoying this rare quiet time.
